A Multiscale Quantitative Systems Pharmacology Model for the Development and Optimization of mRNA Vaccines

open access: yesCPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The unprecedented effort to cope with the COVID‐19 pandemic has unlocked the potential of mRNA vaccines as a powerful technology, set to become increasingly pervasive in the years to come. As in other areas of drug development, mathematical modeling is a pivotal tool to support and expedite the mRNA vaccine development process.

Viral Dynamic Models During COVID‐19: Are We Ready for the Next Pandemic?

open access: yesCPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mathematical models have been used for about 30 years to improve our understanding of virus‐host interaction, in particular during chronic infections. During the COVID‐19 pandemic, these models have been used to provide insights into the natural history of acute SARS‐CoV‐2 infection, optimize antiviral treatment strategies, understand factors ...

Mapping oil palm plantations and their implications on forest and great ape habitat loss in Central Africa

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This paper takes a retrospective look at the changes in the extent of the Congo forest and great ape habitat in the past 20 years. The data and method used in this study are novel. This produced the very first Central Africa ‐specific oil palm extent and forest change dynamics, highlighting a great ape habitat and species range decline.

The secret acoustic world of leopards: A paired camera trap and bioacoustics survey facilitates the individual identification of leopards via their roars

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Here, we conducted the first large‐scale joint camera trap and bioacoustics survey for large African carnivores in Nyerere National Park, Tanzania. By combining the different data types that each technology produced, this led to the discovery that every leopard has a unique, identifiable roar which enables leopards to be the focus of other, more ...

Primates

Science, 1988
Nonhuman primates demonstrate marked similarities to humans in almost all aspects of their anatomy, endocrinology, and physiology. These similarities underlie the value of these animals for appropriate studies in neurobiology, immunology, pathology, reproductive biology, teratology, neonatology, endocrinology, cardiology, and psychology. Investigations

The Earliest Primates

Science, 1965
The known range of the Primates is extended down from the middle Paleocene to the early Paleocene and late Cretaceous by a new genus and two new species from Montana, Purgatorius unio and P. ceratops . These species approach condylarths and leptictid and erinaceoid insectivores in structure.

Primate archaeology

Nature, 2009
All modern humans use tools to overcome limitations of our anatomy and to make difficult tasks easier. However, if tool use is such an advantage, we may ask why it is not evolved to the same degree in other species. To answer this question, we need to bring a long-term perspective to the material record of other members of our own order, the Primates.

Primates

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1994
This article is an introduction to pet nonhuman primates and includes a discussion of basic life history and physiologic parameters of the most common pet species, diet and husbandry guidelines, and resources for further information for both the pet owner and the veterinarian. Preventive health care is emphasized, including diagnostic tests that should

The primate palette: The evolution of primate coloration [PDF]

open access: possibleEvolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, 2008
AbstractFlip through The Pictorial Guide to the Living Primates1 and you will notice a striking yet generally underappreciated aspect of primate biology: primates are extremely colorful. Primate skin and pelage coloration were highlighted examples in Darwin's2 original discussions of sexual selection but, surprisingly, the topic has received little ...
